Send an SMS message or SMS survey.

If sending an SMS message to a case group, you can specify case properties using {case.case_property}. For example, you may send the message "Thank you participating in this survey. Please contact {case.correspondent} if you have any questions."

If sending an SMS survey to a mobile worker group, the selected survey cannot update or close cases. The broadcast will fail to send if this is selected.

Resending a Broadcast

If a broadcast message has been sent, it will appear in the Previously Sent list. To resend it, click on the Copy button. This will create a copy of the reminder that you can edit and schedule again to send.

Review Scheduled Broadcast Messages

After you create a Broadcast Message, go to the Reminder Calendar to see the upcoming planned messages.

Broadcast messages will display as an unnamed One Time reminder. It will show the recipient group, but does not the specific contacts.

Note: in the same Reminder Calendar, there are also scheduled reminders. The scheduled reminder will show the reminder name, and provide a direct link to the case, or mobile worker.
